    I asked this question yesterday, and it seems to have been deleted by a moderator. Was it really so stupid, or did I ask in the worng place? Then: where on the diigo could I find the answer?
    the question was about highlighted texts. Can I count on them to remain visible in diigo (does diigo keep copies in a database, or only references that fail once the source webpage changed/disappearde)

    See Terms of Service
    It's generally about the same thing everywhere:

    They do their best.

    but accidents can happen and they're not going to ruine themselves in being sued.
    and you have better chances if you have a pro account.

    I think that about sums it up, no?

    thank you for the link. I didn't mean to imply anybody didn't do their best or anything. Diigo is something really useful for my way of researching and working.
    I just wanted to understand, technically, wether diigo is keeping copies of my highlights, or only stores references to webpages.
    I won't ask anymore, will just think about it thoroughly and then try to make a guess.
    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Totally understand. =)
    with all these new startups, competition is tough and many cool services disappear.
    I think Diigo has managed to get over most of it, they don't want to disappear. But I read that it's not that easy if your not one of the big big ones.

    Me too, I wish they'd share a bit more technical information on how data is stored and managed.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to appear impolite, I could have been less brief with the reference!

    I don't know whether it was your content that was lost in that case; were you the poster of a topic maybe entitled "new beta"?

    If a page that you have highlighted changes, or goes away:

    * highlights do remain in your library.

    Example:

    * http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FDVD-Video?f=m&tab=comment&uname=grahamperrin shows two highlights that were drawn over a past edition of that page

    * http://www.diigo.com/annotated?uid=26573&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FDVD-Video currently shows only one highlight (where a text remains unchanged).

    @abueno1

    I finally reproduced a bug that may have caused loss of your contributions to the group. http://twitter.com/grahamperrin/status/14928436609 draws attention of Diigo to the relevant post, with screen shots.

    Please: can you recall, from March/April time, whether what went missing was

    a) your first post ever to this group

    or

    b) your first post to this group since the (2009) service upgrade to Diigo 4.0 beta?
